I make myself feel better by watching that show about the family with two six year olds and six two year olds. It can't be more hectic than that!<BR/><BR/>(PS - Happy Delurking Day!)Chris Cactushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12224025916935179333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14452067.post-75523777095630528492008-01-09T15:43:00.000-06:002008-01-09T15:43:00.000-06:00Thanks, Emmie.

I do enjoy when we get together with other twin moms; it gives me great pleasure to see someone else running around the same way I do. <BR/><BR/>My twins are 16 months, so it's good to hear that this time was hard for you, too. Maybe I'm not screwing up as bad as I think! :) If I can make it a few more months, hopefully things will start to get better.<BR/><BR/>I should say, too, that I know parenting is hard no matter how many kids you have. I meant to say that in the post.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02887928096510492352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14452067.post-20381327554225004762008-01-09T10:57:00.000-06:002008-01-09T10:57:00.000-06:00Very well put, and not easy to do. I will say that...Very well put, and not easy to do. I will say that even though age 2 is hard, there is some real relief in the fact that the logistics are so much easier, plus they really do play together. I can't remember how old your twins are exactly, but the 2nd half of age one was the hardest for me, and age two has, on the whole been a bit better. I totally agree about those childhood experiences. I think a lot of multiples spend a ton of time at home in a rec room because confidence is an issue for parents, and I try really hard to think "what would we be doing if I had a singleton". While I grit my teeth a lot and not every outing is succesful, most are, and I'm almost always glad we got out of the house and took a chance. When the boys turned two, we cut a jump rope in half and attached a a length of it plus handle to each side of the double jogger. Preschoolers' arms are long enough to just walk along with a hand on the stroller, but for younger kids, having that handle seems to work better, and for some reason, mine don't question it. Just a thought for when they're older. I think the way you handle things with your three is an inspiration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
